St. Thomas Nursery School

St. Thomas Nursery School was founded in 1951 and is one of the oldest and premier nursery schools in the region. At St. Thomas Nursery School, we educate children in the Episcopal tradition, nurturing each child’s social, emotional, cognitive and spiritual development. We invest in an award- winning curriculum called Handwriting Without Tears (HWT). This curriculum helps children develop school readiness skills and succeed in handwriting.

We encourage our students to ask questions, to respond to others, to be responsible, to problem-solve, to create, to enjoy books and to actively play. Our specials include cooking, art, chapel, and music. These experiences help children to conceptualize their world and lay the foundation for sound learning. We provide a loving, supportive, safe and educational environment for preschool children from the ages of 2 yrs old -5 yrs old. We serve children in both the congregation and in the community, and are fortunate to be closely aligned to a large, welcoming Episcopal Church with dynamic ministries for children, youth and young families.

This week Nursery School teacher and parishioner Amy Roak brought her chickens and the campers enjoyed many wonderful “eggsperiences.” The campers learned a lot about what chickens eat, how often they lay eggs, and what it’s like to raise chickens and have your own fresh eggs for breakfast! Scroll down to view the pictures.

The campers also received a visit from a Veterinarian on Wednesday, July 8th! She brought a dog, a hamster and 3 small kittens and talked to the campers about taking care of animals and even showed them some interesting X-rays of animals she has seen in the past! The campers had a great time learning about and petting the animals she brought with her and had many questions for her as well!
